auvj. V, uou **w******** ~~~ ;; * GREATER SHOW ERA GETS UNDER WAY AT'THE INDIANA

Jack Oakie Opens New Season in “The Sap from Syracuse” as Charlie Davis and Band Returns to Stage After a Week’s Absence. THE greater show era has been opened at the Indiana with the showing of Jack Oakie in his newest Paramount comedy hit, "The Sap Prom Syracuse." The stage offering this week is “Carnival of Fun,” featuring Charlie Davis and his band again, after a week of absence. In “The Sap From Syracuse,” Oakie is seen as the butt of Syracuse smart-aleks. chinning his way to new glory. Enabled to gratify a lifelong ambition to see what the other side of the “big pond" is like, Oakie boards the boat only to find himself mistaken for a famed engineer reported to be traveling incognito.

From then on the fun mounts in rapid crescendo, it is said. Ginger Rogers, who has been seen here several times in Publix stage attractions, and who was seen in “Young Man of Manhattan,” has the lead opposite Oakie in this: picture. The stage attraction, “Carnival of Fun,” surrounds Davis and his band with a cast of celebrated stage entertainers, including Sammy Lewis and Patti Moore, in “Fun on the Steps”; Marietta, late star of George White's “Scandals”; Clyde Hager, the barker; Jim, the bear; Sonny O'Brien, the talented troubadour, and the Fred Evans Sightseers. Ed Resener is conducting the band in an overture entitled “IT Guar*ny.” Dcssa Byrd will be at the organ. A Paramount sound news reel will complete the bill. a a a "BLUSHING BRIDES” OPENS AT THE PALACE An engrossing story, -strikingly beautiful background and superb performances upon the part of Joan Crawford. Anita Page, Dorothy Sebastian, Robert Montgomery, Raymond Hackett, John Miljan and a large supporting cast contrive to make “Our Blushing Brides,” which opens today at the Palace, effective entertainment from start to finish, The plot centers about three girls who work in the same department store and share rooms. They are fed up with the monotony of their lives, clock-punching, delicatessen meals, made-over dresses and all the other millstones of poverty and each awaits the opportunity to escape from a humdrum existence. Consequently when David Jardine (Raymond Hackett), son of the department store owner, begs Connie ' * Anita Page) to let him esablish her in a Park avenue apartment with a promise of a future marriage as soon as he straightens things out with his family, she throws alLcaution to the winds and accepts. Francine (Dorothy Sebastian) too thinks she has solved her problems when she marries Martin (John Miljan), a customer whose , extravagant purchases indicate a bottomless wallet. When Tony Jardine (Robert Montgomery), Dave’s older brother, tries to make a play for Geraldine (Joan Crawford), the last of the trio, she sees through his intentions and spurns his offer. As events turned out, the levelheaded Jerry was the only one who came out of the subsequent dramatic episodes without a scratch. Connie discovers Dave is about to marry an heiress and attempts suicide and Francine learns that she has married a thief. Geraldine and ! Tony are reunited in a surprise climax. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have given Joan Crawford a lavish background for her new starring vehicle. From the locale of the department store and the meager quarters of the three girls, the scenes shirt to what are undoubtedly the smartest and most modernistic interiors yet seen on the screen. A brilliant touch is a spectacular fashion-show held on the lawns of what is represented as being the Jardine Long Island estate in which more than one hundred new style creations are revealed. A second lavish detail is an Albertina Rasch ballet in which Miss Crawford is seen in some unusual dances. The acting of the principals is all I that could be asked for, Miss Craw- | ford in particular proving herself S an actress of indisputable ability, j while splendid work is contributed j by such supporting players as Hedda Hopper, Albert Conti, Edward Bro- , phy, Robert Emmett O'Connor, i Martha Sleeper. GwSn Lee and Mary Doran. Harry Beaumont, the director. ' may add “Our Blushing Brides” to his long string of successes, which include "Our Dancing Daughters,” “The Broadway Melody,'' and the more recent “The Florodora Girl.” In addition to the Hearst Movietone News, a suitable selection of short subjects rounds out the bill, a a a NEW BARTIIELMESS MOVIE AT CIRCLE Richard Barthelmcss, the First National-Vitaphone star, has the most brilliant male supporting cast in his career in "The Dawn Patrol.” which is now playing at the Circle theater. This is the first of the greater show era attractions at this theater. It also opens Aviation week, which is being observed over the state. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Neil Hamilton play two of the principal supports while other important roles are played by Clyde Cook, Gardner James. Edmund Breon, James Finalyson and William Janney. The story concerns the dramatic adventures of a group of “schoolboy” filers In the British air service during the first years of the World war. The trageay ana norror. their courage and bravado, friendship and comradrrie. these form the themes running through this unusual Barthelmess opus. Some of those play- ; ers who enact the role of “school- : boy” airmen are: The juniors. , Claude Giliingw>ter. Harold Lock- j wood. Carter De Haven.

Train Your Sense of Humor

Training will develop a sense of humor just as regular exercise will harden flabby muscles, according to George Marion Jr. of film laugh renown. “There is something funny in nearly every’ situation.” says Marion. 'Training and observation will enable one to see the humor that abounds everywhere and thus save himself many hard knocks. “In order to write humor professionally. <me must keep a jump ahead of the times.

On the supplementary bill is Paul Ash and Jean Boydell in “I’m a Wild Woman,” and a Paramount I sound news reel. a a a LOWE PLAYS CRACK ROLE AGAIN Fate plays many ironic pranks. How a man chanced many risks yet i stayed clear of trouble while master minding in the underworld only to encounter a series of amazing and exciting difficulties when he ' endeavored to give up his profession and become a respectable and lawabiding citizen is the unique theme of “Good Intentions," the Fox • Movietone drama which is now attracting crowds to its every performance at the Apollo. Edmund Lowe plays the composite role of the head of a gang of international ctboks as well as that of a man of wealth, position and fashion. He gives an outstanding performance, it is said, and accord- ! ing to many he even surpasses his i previous roles of Sergeant Quirt in ! “What Price Glory” and “The Cock- , Eyed World.” Marguerite Churchill is said to be | sparkling in the role of the society I debutantes who is the cause of Lowe’s ' attempted reformation. Regis Too- | may, Owen Davis Jr. and Hale Hamilton have the other featured j roles, with Earle Fox, Eddie Gribi bon, Pat Somerset, Georgia Kane ; and Robert McWade completing the ! cast. William K. Howard directed the picture from his own original story and the dialog was contributed by George Mankers Watters. Cliff Friend and James V. Monaco wrote the tuneful song, “A Slave To Love.” which is heard during the showing of the picture. Short subjects, including Vitaphone Varieties, Screen Oddities and Fox Movietone News are included on the program. BYRD PICTURE OPENS AT THE OHIO Two years ago the greatest ad- | venture of modern times—perhaps one of the truly great adventures of all times—was undertaken by a dautless courageous group of men. Previously tested by hardships and countless daring undertakings, these men chose to fathom the mystery of what today is the vast, overpowering barriers of ice mountains to that imaginary point which every schoolboy knows by name, the south pole. They were led by a handsome, modest young man, Richard E. Byrd. When Admiral Byrd planned this trip to the south pole. Paramount offered the services of two of its ace cameramen to go along and get a permanent record on motion picture film of Byrd's grand aventure. Paramount has titled this picture “With Byrd at the South Pole” and it is now playing at the Ohio theater. As shown to a selected audience at a New York preview where the famous radio favorite and war correspondent, Floyd Gibbons, was the guest of honor, this mighty adventure reaches the heights of superb drama, it is said; a vital, vigorous, thoroughly human story of men, who faced eternity for the sake of science, and ideal, a thrill. The program this week also includes an all-talking comedy, “Accidents Will Happen,” and a Mickey Mouse cartoon, “The Cactus Kid.”

A Study in Show Value

When Frank Mandel first proposed to adapt “Queen High,” his firm’s Broadway musical comedy, to the screen, he was told that it would run far longer than the conventional feature picture length, due to the complexity of its action and plot. Mandel didn't think so. Retiring to his office he set a stopwatch and started enacting the various roles of the play at motion picture tempo in his mind. When he finished he found he had occupied only one hour and fifteen minutes. Mandel insisted therefore that “Queen High” could be translated to the screen without deleting a single line from the original script. Such was found to be the case when the production went before the cameras. Scene-shifting and intermissions were eliminated, of course, thus saving much time. On rlie other hand action and dialogue were maintained at a pace whipr would have been meaningless on fne stage. But due to the fact that motion picture actors appear much nearer their audiences this actually increased, the effectiveness of the action. Asa result of this greater flexibility it was found when, the picture was completed that all of,.the original comedy situations contained in the three hour stage performances had been compressed into an hour and a quarter of hilarious screen entertainment, although a number of new episodes' had been added. Fred Newmeyer directed this Schwab and Mandel production for Paramount with an all-star cast headed by Stanley Smith, Ginger Rogers, Charles Ruggles and Frank Morgan.

They provide instantaneous energy when I’m completely exhausted after tumbling abour, the stage. “I once asked a doctor if the habit was injurious. He replied that American soldiers lived on chocolate for days while in the trenches and that I could safely continue as long as I was dancing strenuously every day.” To Have Featured Role Natalie Moorhead will have a featured role in a forthcoming comedy entitled “A Gay Caballero,” according to announcement made today by J.

Do You Know That —

Marion Talley, former Metropolitan opera star, runs her own ranch in a little town in Kansas. Miss Talley has made several recordings for Vitaphone Varieties among which are a duet with Beniamino Gigli, and the quartette from “Rigoletto” with Beniamino Gigli, Giuseppe De Luca and Jeanne Gordon. Clara Barry and Orval Whitledge have been added to the cast of “Girl Crazy,” the new Aarons and Freedley musical show which is now in rehearsal. The comedy team appeared in a Vitaphone Varieties, titled “Jest for a While.” Harry Holman sailed on the Aquitania with Edith Manson for a three months’ vaudeville tour in England. He was featured in a Vitaphone Varieties comedy playlet called “The Big Deal.” , Hope Hampton recently scored a huge success in her interpretation of “Manon” in Vichy, France. Miss Hampton appeared in the fourth act of the same opera for Vitaphone Varieties.

Both Ways

The first of the Vitaphone Varieties to be filmed in both English and Spanish at the Vitaphone studios in Brooklyn, has been completed. In English its title is “Where There’s a Will.” The cast includes George Hassell, stage comedian; Mabel Grainger, Joe Bonomo, Martin Berkeley and C. W. Secrest. In the Spanish version, titled “Quieres Es Poder,” the leading role Is taken by Eduarzo Arozemena. Roy Mack directed both versions, assisted on the Spanish version by Henry Dagand.

In New Comedy William Demarest, stage and screen comedian, is starred in “Seeing Things,” a two-reel mystery farce directed by Harold Beaudine on the Vitaphone varieties program. Others in the cast are Florence Auer; Bernard Randall, Edward Fielding and Audrey Berry.

In New Role. Cissie Loftus who is most famous for her impersonations has a featured role In the Broadway comedy “Lost Sheep.” Miss Loftus appeared In a Vitaphone Varieties attraction in which she offered some of her most popular impersonations.

Mack, the lazy-voiced member of the team, arrived at this conclusion Whilte pondering over the World war, which is the background of the comedians’ latest Paramount starring picture, “Anybody’s War.” “This League of Nations business ought to solve the question of eliminating war if it expelled the member which gets unruly,” he opined. “I remember once when I was a kid in Tacoma, Wash., I was unfortunate enough to tear the cushion of a billiard table and the management barred me from the place. That’s where all my gang gathered and I used to stand outside the windows in the cold with a sad look on my face. “The happiest moment of my life was when they took pity and reinstated me.”

‘All Quiet’ to Be Kept as Classic Plans Made to Show Film on Armistice Day in Future. BECAUSE they believe “All Quiet on the Western Front,” the film war epic is the typical youth picture and that it both artistically and truthfully tells the 6tory of young men in war time, the National Student Federation of America has obtained the use of the picture for Armistice day, 1932. It Is to be shown in leading university centers under their auspices, according to Ed. R. Murrow, president. Carl Laemmlc. producer of “All Quiet on the Western Front," ha* informed the executive committee of the N. S. F. A., which has been meeting in New York this month, that he would make the film available to N. S. F. A. in all university centers on Armistice day, 1932, tot be shown at benefit performances. According to the plan of the N,. S. F. A., local student committees, representing the national organization on more tlnan two hundred college campuses, will combine efforts in large university centers to take charge of shownig the picture, on a percentage basis with local theaters. A large per cent of the proceeds derived from the showing in about twenty-five centers will be applied on the permanent foundation, which now is being raised by the N. S.F. A. It is hoped that the success of tha 1932 enterprise may lead to a reshowing of the picture every four years or every student generation, to keep an accurate picture of the iast war alive in the minds of succeeding generations of young men and women. Interests Students “The picture, as the book, is of prime interest to university students,” said Ed R. Murrow, president of the N. S. F. A. “It portrays a period in world history when the universities were drained of their young men, and higher education in Europe receved a tremendous setback. “It bears particular interest to us because shortly after the war the students of this country raised over $1,000,000 to aid their fellows in Europe, particularly in Germany, Seventy-five per cent of the students in Germany were forced to evacuate the universities and go to work at that time. The moving realism of this picture makes it worthy of constant revival. It must not die.” Dr. Murrow is a lieqtenant in the United States’ reserve corp, graduating from Washington State college. The interest of American students in “All Quiet on the Western Front” has been demonstrated by the fact that more than a hundred theater parties have attended its local showings, according to reports received at the N. S. F. A. office. In making the request. President Murrow of the National Student Federation of America, wrote Mr. Laemmle: “ ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ appeals to the officers of the. National Student Federation of, America, as the greatest picture of our generation—and we feel that it is for our generation, a warning and a challenge. We want to help to keep it alive as a vivid challenge to all future student generations.” GAS DEFENSE TAUGHT, Poland Prepares to Protect Public From Horrors of War.
